My newest novel, "French Quarter Vendetta"

It's a good old fashioned murder mystery set in New Orleans. I can't
tell you how much fun I had writing it.

I used New Orleans as the as the setting because it has the perfect atmosphere for a good mystery.I've spent a lot of
time there over the years. I really love it there, especially the "Vieux Carre",
or French Quarter. It is a city that takes pride in being a place of
fun times, good food and good company. And, for me, it has lived up to
that reputation very well.

-As they say in 'Nawlens:

"Laissez les bons temps rouler"

("Let the good times roll")

Getting back to the book, here's a little bit from the promo for the book:

French
Quarter Vendetta is an old fashioned ‘Who-done-it.’ Set in historic,
fun loving New Orleans, the plot untangles a tale of murder, mystery,
betrayal and jealousy. Follow along as Lieutenant James “Gator” McNeal
and his team wade through a list of suspects that include a Union
President, a State Senators wife, a jealous mistress, a spoiled stepson,
an ambitious assistant, a union ‘thug’ and even a street kid and
two-bit drug dealer. Along the way you’ll run into a strange, cryptic
vision, the power of a gris-gris bag and even a Voodoo Curse. You won’t
be able to put it down until the very end when Gator brings everyone
together and reveals “Who-done-it”.

"French Quarter Vendetta" is is available now on Amazon.com in both print and download formats (the download version is only $2.99!)I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

And watch for my next murder mystery "The Bourbon Street Murders" due for release in the spring.
